you have two anti-union politicians, paul ryan and scott walker. they have made a living campaigning against union employees and union worker. what is so bad that it could turn paul ryan and scott walker into pro-union politicians? those nfl scab refs. those amateur refs trying to pretend they know what the hell they are doing. they don't have a clue. monday night this is what the call sounded like after they huddled -- everybody was saying no, no no no. they could not have called that a touchdown for the seahawks but here is how it came aross. >> the call on stands touchdown seahawks. [ cheers ] >> bill: it was bizarre, and the nfl had to respond because they are the ones that are really on the line on this. they came out on this yesterday d roger goodell looks like a freaking horse's ass on this thing, so he came out with a statement, endorsing the refs saying, yes, indeed, the seahawks won the game and at the same time says they should have called -- help me out year peter -- they should have called offensive interference -- >> offensive pass in

this is ann romney with paul ryan on stage. >> romney: paul ryan, ain't that something. wait a second. romney ryan. romney ryan. romney ryan. there we go. all right. that's great. thank you. >> john: now this prompted a rather public mocking from joe scarborough. but i think it was an example of governor romney being a little stiff and trying to do some crowd work which isn't his specialty. i thought the governor took a bad rap on that one. what do you think? >> in that case, when morning joe showed the clip of it, they heard people chanting but you couldn't really quite make out what they were chanting. but morning joe added a subtitle to indicate that the crowd had been chanting ryan's name. and that -- which made it look like romney came in and said add my name, too which makes him look a little bit desperate. i was actually there at that event as were you know, 30, 40, 50 other reporters. almost all of us heard that the crowd was chanting romney. and he was -- it is still awkward. he still seems a little awkward. but it makes him seem a little less desperate. i point

paul ryan is not a friend of mitt romney long term. paul ryan is for paul ryan. he is thinking about 2016. he has not gotten what he needed. >> before we go, i have one last question. >> yes. >> what about, you talked about paul ryan, this medicare argument, you know, do you think that seniors believe that this is only going to affect people under the age of 55 or do they not trust politicians enough to think they can't keep their hands off the medicare. >> i honestly don't know how to get my arms around how the seniors react. they understand that paul ryan is up to no good when it comes to his medicare proposal. they look at him you look at the response at aarp, the way the proposal is at the end of the day has been received negatively by all folks even people who say we need to do something with the medicare, don't think it works. >> thank you, eliot spitzer who you can see on viewpoint at 8:00 p.m. you can watch him tonight covering all the issues for the debate. thank you. >> thanks for having me on. >> you can call 866-55-press. we're taking more of your cal

now the past few days, we've seen paul ryan campaigning. he has been holding fund-raisers in a lot of states that are not swing states, places like tennessee, he will be in connecticut and new york city to raise money. that's something he might have been able to do at this point in the campaign several cycles ago but with early voting now 40% of the vote, it seems like it is a bit late in the game. >> bill: i've read some accounts that the romney campaign is a little worried -- some republicans are grumbling that they're not using ryan effectively enough. and others i've seen pointing out that when they are together, ryan -- he's a better campaigner and a better speaker than mitt romney. maybe that's why they don't want him overshadowing the candidate. >> that's definitely the danger that they face. i think that's why you see ryan, for all of the grumbling from his conservative backers that the campaign isn't unison enough, it is a decision on his part not to try to overshadow romney on the trial. at the ryan events i've been to, the crowds

mitt romney joins paul ryan on a bus tour through ohio as part of an effort to refocus his campaign message. ryan kicked off a three-day tour with an event in lima and they'll campaign together in central ohio. romney wraps it up tuesday with an event in cleveland. ohio is perhaps the most critical swing state with 18 electoral votes. romney losing ohio would mean he has no shot at the white house. that does follow suit with history. no republican candidate has ever become president without carrying ohio. recent polls show romney is down in the state by anywhere from 4 to 7 points against the president. so he's not doing great in ohio but he's faring well financially after a trip to los angeles over the weekend. romney brought in $6 million in just one night at a fund-raiser in beverly hills where about 1500 people paid up to $50,000 each to see the candidate speak. ann romney ran into a little trouble when her plane had to make an emergency landing this weekend. she is safe and sound but her husband was naturally a little bit nervous especially because he cannot figure out why airplane win
